Pusha-T confirmed the partnership between Drake and adidas?
The line of the Toronto rapper in collaboration with the colossal sportswear brand could be called "Adidon"
May 31st, 2018
There is a lot of bad blood between Pusha-T and Drake.
If, in these days, you have opened any newspaper or news blog you will have noticed.
The two are "dissing" with hits of songs, but the one with the most poisoned tooth seems to be the American rapper.
Summing it up so far, Pusha T in Infrared insinuates that the colleague is made to write the texts by others, while in "The Story of Adidon" accuses the Canadian star of not being black enough to represent something in rap or hip-hop culture and having a secret child named Adonis with former pornstar Sophie Brussaux.
What's more, in the cover of the single, it shows a "blackface" painted Drake, a bygone habit of minstrel shows, very popular shows from the mid-800 to the early '900, in which white actors wore make-up to make a caricature of black people, full of racism and the worst stereotypes, still considered very offensive to African Americans today. Everything to remind people of Drake's "blackface" in an old photo shoot.
Drake responded by explaining that the picture was made in irony in 2007 when Drake was struggling as an actor, and the photo was meant as a comment and representation of the only typecast roles that he would get offered as a black actor.
Other things? Yes, because during the Breakfast Club radio program, Pusha-T confirmed Drake's partnership with adidas and unveiled that the name of the collaborative collections could be Adidon, a reference to the alleged secret son of the Toronto rapper. He said:
"We couldn’t know about your child until you started selling sweatsuits and sneakers?", explaining that the brand presentation would work as a double announcement of paternity and a new partnership.
More or less the same theory anticipated by the journalist Touré who in a tweet wrote
"Adidon is the name of Drake’s upcoming Adidas line and now that name will be associated with this beef and Pusha’s monstrous diss track. Pusha has, in effect, screwed up Drake's brand before it came out."
No comment has been made by the Ovo star or from adidas regarding the launch.
